I saw this book after Jessica Hamilton had posted a TikTok about it in 2021. I spent ages looking for this book. I could never find it online, bookstores had copies but I wouldn't be able to find them in the store. I looked everywhere, even making sure to stop at a store hours away because they had a copy, of course it wasn't there when I got there. I finally found a copy of this book months later, got home, and began reading it instantly.

This book is everything I thought it would be. I like to rate books based on how well they make me feel things. This book gave me goosebumps, gave me chills, made me feel relief, sadness, happiness, and so much more. Jessica Hamilton did an amazing job at making the emotions shine through the pages. 

Each time there was a twist I became even more invested. I simply couldn't put this book down and read it all within 2 days. I normally don't like books with extreme amounts of details but I wanted to know everything, and more, so I found that Jessica Hamilton did it really well and the writing was really beautiful.
